Strangford Lough Viking Festival - Mead Making Workshop

Strangford Castle, Castle Street, Strangford, County Down, BT30 7NE
Strangford Lough Viking Festival

About

Come along and make your own demijohn of Viking mead, under the instruction of local foraging and hedgerow cuisine tutor Alison McGrenaghan and Norway's own Oddgeir Lutzen. Instructions, equipment and materials all provided and students will take away their own handmade, 4 litre casket, of the glorious golden liquid, to ferment at home. This is a fun workshop and no prior experience of brewing is required, just a "have a go" attitude.
